The iphone has more applications, more developers, and more third-party applications installed per phone than any other smartphone. You can even see similar trends happening on the internet. Centralized sites are beginning to regain share over distribution. Facebook is essentially AOL/Compuserve 3.0. Twitter is like mailing lists or discussion boards, but all in one place. These sites are popular because they do a reasonably good job keeping users away from dangerous/spammy parts of the internet.

Already devices based on android, but not provided with google apps or market access have a hard time vs ipod touch (the non-phone offshot of iphone). also, while android is spreading, iphone and its app store is the incumbent, and will probably be hard to dethrone in the short term. sad thing is that being outside of the market may well result in obscurity.
